Yuri Anime
The new Sailor Moon anime has added a few more key staff, with director, music and animator positions filled now. If the director has just been announced, I think we’re in for at least one more delay. July seems a ridiculously tight deadline.
Jormungand, the Complete First and Second seasons are out on Hybrid Blu-ray/DVD combos.

Questionably Yuri Manga
According to Comic Natalie, a new Yuri assassin comic series is starting up in Comic Bass magazine, Yuri Kuma Arashi. It looks like the love child of Morishima Akiko and Fukami Makoto. ^_^;
Also questionably Yuri, Oshima Towa-sensei is restarting Jyoshi Kousei, which was brought over here as High School Girls. The restart will alternate with a similar story, Jyoshi Kousei-Girls Live, starring a new cast.
Stretch, by Akili, (ストレッチ), which I first mentioned back in June 2013 , is now out as a collected volume. It’s about adult sempai and kouhai who share an apartment, have possible feelings for one another…and therapeutic stretching.
Yuri or not, I will definitely be getting Golondrina, Volume 4 (ゴロンドリーナ). Est Em’s intense story about lesbian Chika learning to become a matador has me captivated.
Moving into less questionable territory…
